Current favorite: Spinach Smoothie

1 tablespoon ground flax
1 tablespoon ground chia seeds
1 tablespoon powdered cocoa
1/2 cup mixed frozen fruit
1 medium banana
1/2 - 1 cup raw chopped spinach
(Optional - 1/2 to 1 scoop whey protein powder - typically on a training day)
Other favorite ingredients: peanut butter, cinnamon, instant decaf coffee
Thanks to Cid-Pid for the Chia Seed & Spinach suggestion! :)
And on a side note, I track what I eat using a couple of online websites - phone apps. It is important to know what you are eating especially whether you are getting the correct combination macro-nutrients, fiber, etc. I started using www.caloriecount.com but (thanks to a referral from a friend) have also started using www.livestrong.com's My Plate. Perhaps a side by side comparison is in the cards next month.
